52 Book Challenge - Week 2

We hope you enjoyed revisiting a book you read in school for last week's part of the 52 Book Challenge.

This week, we're still revisiting books from the past:

2. A Book From Your Childhood

We've got a great range of children's books in the Curriculum Collection (which is designed to be a miniature school library), but if you were the kind of kid who liked reading books like Dracula, or the Lord of the Rings trilogy, you might need to check out the 810s and 820s to find your old friends.

We'd love to hear from you about the books you are discovering (or rediscovering). Feel free to use the comments section in our posts (or on Facebook) to share.

Next week the challenge is to read a book that was published over 100 years ago. What would you like to read?

One book that made a lasting impression on me was 'The Cruel Sea' by Nicholas Monsarrat - a gripping story based on a character, a Lietenant Commander, on a WW2 warship HMS Compass Rose.

It must have made an impression as I joined the Navy after completeing Year 12 and did my University studies whilst serving in the R.A.N.
